about

This song reflects on different aspects of my mom’s character which I have inherited. During the moments that she feels like she’s gone, it is helpful to remind myself that her character, spirit, and lessons - in other words, her legacy - lives on through her children.

lyrics

I know why, I know why
I keep to myself
And why I take a long time
To break through my shell

These things they last for generations
If you stop look inside be self-aware
It’s not hard to hear the lessons that you’ve given
It’s not hard to see the qualities we share

I have her, I have her
Aversion to the cold
And like her and her father
We’ve got gentle souls

These things they last for generations
If you stop look inside be self-aware
It’s not hard to hear the lessons that you’ve given
It’s not hard to see the qualities we share

‘Cause we are the products of our past
Some ways we’re cursed, some ways we’re blessed
It’s an evolutionary mess
But we wear it like our Sunday’s best
